The Roundup - 17 New Rock + Metal Tours Announced This Past Week

The rock and metal tours keep rolling out for 2026, with 18 new treks to dive into this week.

Leading the way is a good time summer jam co-headline run with 311 and The Dirty Heads keeping the vibes positive. Weezer have booked The Gathering, a major summer tour with The Shins and Silversun Pickups (not to be confused with the Gathering of the Juggalos).

Before heading out to support Shinedown later this year, Coheed and Cambria will also get in some summer headline dates. And we've also Corrosion of Conformity bringing something heavier to the mix while on the road with Whores and Crobot in July.

This week also brought us the lineup for the annual Summer Slaughter tour, headed up by Hatebreed. Plus, the Emo's Not Dead Cruise revealed their music lineup for 2027 and the Sea.Hear.Now festival bill has been filled in for this fall.
